Connecticut vs Colorado Prediction 

Connecticut comes into this matchup ranked #2 in the country, but they are coming off of an overtime loss to Memphis on Monday afternoon. The Huskies played some pretty bad teams in their first four games, so we will see if they can bounce back here. Colorado also suffered their first loss of the season on Monday against Michigan State, but they were never really in the game. The Huskies are definitely one of the best teams in the country and I expect a big bounce-back performance from them here. Take Connecticut to win big.
